Slack AMA: The team behind Slack lists

Last month, the Lists team at Slack—myself, Serina, Steve, and Colleen—had the privilege of participating in a community Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by Slack Community HQ. It was an amazing hour where we answered over 25 questions from passionate Slack users who are eager to learn more about our new feature, Lists.

In this AMA, we dived into the inspiration behind Lists, how it can streamline workflows, and what’s next for the product. From planning product launches to managing complex projects, Lists is designed to bring structure and simplicity to team collaboration. The questions we received covered everything from feature requests to insights about how our team works behind the scenes.

Some highlights included:

• A deep dive into how Lists can transform task management within Slack.
• Exciting questions on upcoming features and integrations.
• A peek into how the Lists team collaborates across design, engineering, and product management to bring this feature to life.

If you missed out, don’t worry! This is just the beginning—stay tuned for more updates on Lists and future community AMAs. For those who attended, thank you for your energy, feedback, and curiosity. We're thrilled to keep improving Lists with your input!
